selected from thousands of hopefuls in nine countries, she performed
on the hit CBS show, Rockstar:INXS and was also invited as a guest
singer on their follow up CD, Switch. Millions worldwide fell
in love with Deanna and her voice as they saw her perform each
week.
TREY,
originally from Alabama, has performed on world tours with Prince,
Whitney Houston and the Backstreet Boys and as a recording artist
earned seven top 20 hits including an Australian Grammy Award.
Also, a co-writer of a top 10 hit with recording artist Anastacia
earning multi-platinum sales worldwide and an experienced actor
with recent credits on the April release of the film American
Dreamz, Trey offers a unique and cohesive flavor to the group.
WES,
a New Orleans native, is formerly a LaFace Records recording artist
who has performed with Babyface, Ricky Martin, Toni Braxton, the
late Lisa "Left Eye" of TLC, Tone Loc, along with numerous
other names. His good looks, soulful charismatic charm, high energy,
incredibly versatile and unique style will keep the audience captivated

group's synergy, his creative choreography and tributes to Michael
Jackson are just a few of LA Allstars' highlights and inventive
